Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from Study entry: Cancer-Related Criteria 1. Transformed lymphoma or follicular lymphoma (FL) IIIB 2. Primary central nervous system lymphoma, histologic evidence of transformation to a Burkitt lymphoma, primary effusion lymphoma, primary mediastinal DLBCL, DLBCL of the testis, or primary cutaneous DLBCL 3.

This includes a malignancy that has been treated but not with curative intent, unless the malignancy has been in remission without treatment for = 5 years prior to dosing. Note: Patients with a history of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are eligible for the Study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective for this Study is as follows: ? To evaluate the incidence of AARs following multiple doses of rituximab SC during Induction and/or Maintenance therapy in patients with CD20+ DLBCL or CD20+ follicular NHL, who have previously received at least one dose of rituximab IV. AARs are defined as all AEs occurring within 24 hours of rituximab SC administration and which are considered related to Study drug. AARs include IIRRs, injection-site reactions, administration site conditions and all symptoms thereof.;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate the safety of rituximab SC •To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab SC •to evaluate the pharmacokinetic of rituximab SC: in FL and DLBCL patients: -population PK parameter, effects of subject characteristics on the rituximab population PK parameters, effects of the covariates related to disease at baseline, interindividual variability,relationship of Ctrough (pre-dose concentration) over time and CR/CRu at 4-8 weeks after the last dose of Induction treatment (concentration defined over time trial), and only for DLBDL patients also rituximab exposures (concentration over time) during the 2 different scheduling of rituximab SC R-CHOP14 or R-CHOP 21 •Patient-reported outcome is measured using Rituximab Administration Satisfaction Questionnaire (RASQ-SC);Primary end point(s): -safety endpoint:AARs, including IIRRs, AEs, AEs of grade = 3, SAEs, routine laboratory parameters, vital signs, concomitant medications, premature withdrawal from the Study and from Study medication due to AEs and ECOG performance status. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Timepoint of safety endpoints: at every visit

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Timepoint of efficacy enpoints: at baseline visit, final staging and end of study visit. Timepoint of PK endpoints: DLBCL patients: Induction Collection timelines: 1.Baseline: pre-dose of rituximab SC administration 2.Cycle 7 – Day 1: pre-dose of rituximab SC administration 3.Cycle 7 – Day 7 (± 3 days) 4.Cycle 7 – Day 14 (± 3 days) 4.Cycle 8 – Day 1: pre-dose of rituximab SC administration FL patients: Induction Collection timelines: 1.Baseline: pre-dose of rituximab SC administration 2.Cycle 8 – Day 1: pre-dose of rituximab SC administration Maintenance Collection timelines: 1.Baseline = pre-dose of rituximab SC administration 2.Cycle 12 – Day 1: pre-dose of rituximab SC administration ;Secondary end point(s): -efficay endpoint:the efficacy of rituximab SC will be evaluated during Induction and/or Maintenance in terms of EFS, PFS, CR/Cru, DFS and OS and will be analysed for the FAS and for the Per Protocol populations. -PK endpoint: Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median and minimum and maximum values), will be computed for all PK parameters: Ctrough, AUC, Cmax, , and CL/F (clearance/fraction of absorbed drug). -patient satisfaction outcome endpoint:Patient-assessed satisfaction will be evaluated using the Rituximab Administration Satisfaction Questionnaire (RASQ-SC).
